Tool/Equipment

LEAD comes with some common resource sub-categories predefined, that you can change and update as needed.

oReplace Replace-blue one resource sub-category with another resource sub-category in the list.

oSelect Show History Table-History to review the changes made to the entry, including the user name and date/time of saved changes, and revert to an earlier saved revision.

oDelete Table-Delete the entry. Once you've selected OK to the confirmation message, an Undo button displays on the bottom left of the screen that allows you to revert the deletion.

Finding Entries

If you can't find the entry you're looking for, enter a search term in the Find: field and select Search. The table will list all entries that contain your search term on the screen.

You can click on the column headers of each table to sort the entries by that column. Clicking on a column header again will reverse the sort. Clicking on the column header a third time will remove the sort. Small arrows in the column header let you know which way the data is currently sorted.
